Greetings to all on the occasion of Basant Panchmi today.

Basant, the season of spring, is a season of new beginning, a season of rejuvenation and a season of arrival of happiness. It is the season of rebirth and bloom, the season of new love.

Films with sound came into being in 1931. Saigal Saab started his film career in 1932.
